What is IoT

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

©2017 NYU CUSP 
  • Current top Tech buzzwords
  • Large corporations value its market in tens of trillions of dollars.
  • There are also plans to release tens of billions of connected devices.
  • Despite this, nobody seems to agree on what Internet of Things (IoT) actually is.

The only thing people agree on is that whatever it is, it is worth a lot of money.

What is IoT

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

©2017 NYU CUSP 
  • Internet of Everything
  • Web of Things
  • Internet of People and Things
  • Machine-to-Machine
  • Cyber-Physical Systems
    (...)

And where there is a lot of money, there is a lot of competition, which means there is a lot of confusion!

But in order to proceed, we need to Define IoT

What is IoT

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

©2017 NYU CUSP 

Before we define IoT, let's look at why IoT?

  • IoT was a term first coined by Kevin Ashton, a British technology pioneer in 1999 when most data on the Internet was entered or captured by human beings.
  • Ashton coined the term to illustrate the power of using Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in order to count and track goods more efficiently and without any human intervention.
  • But, if systems can access data captured by sensors directly, of course, the data will be both more abundant and more correct . This was known decades ago and is a field of study in its own right, labeled "sensor networks".​

What is IoT

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

©2017 NYU CUSP 
  • So IoT = Sensor networks?
    IoT is not same as sensor networks since `Things` doesn't have to be sensors and similarly sensor networks doesn't HAVE to be connected to Internet.
  • ​So IoT = Big data?
    IoT is not same as Big Data because `Things` are not required to capture or generate data.
  • M2M?
    IoT is not part M2M because being on Internet, it is implied that humans can access these `Things` directly.
    And No, IoT is also not CPS because CPS concern themselves with non-Internet protocols for transfer of messages between devices etc.

What the .... is IoT ?

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

©2017 NYU CUSP 

A very simple definition would go something like this:

The IoT is what we get when we connect `Things`, which are not operated by humans, to the Internet.

This is IoT

Something you can connect to..
Something that can connect to you..
Something that is connected to internet..
Something that senses..
Something that crunches and exchanges data..
Something that automates..
Something that connects to other things..

Is Cellphone a `Thing` in IoT

Communication Models

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

©2017 NYU CUSP 

From an operational perspective, it is useful to think technically about how the IoT devices connect and communicate. (RFC 7452)

  1. Device to Device Communication
  2. Device to Cloud Communication
  3. Device to Gateway Model
  4. Back-End Data-Sharing Model

Communication Models

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

Device to Device (D2D) Communication

  • Devices will be the main users in the IoT ecosystem and thus D2D communication[1]

Smart Bulb

Smart Switch

Wireless Network
e.g. Bluetooth, Z-Wave, ZigBee
  • These network allows devices that adhere to a particular communication protocol to communicate.
  • Eg. Home Automation -- lights, door locks, thermostat etc.

Communication Models

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

Device to Cloud (D2C) Communication

  • In this model, the IoT device connects directly to an Internet cloud application service provider.

Device with Sound sensor

Device with CO

HTTP, TLS, TCP, IP

CoAP, UDP, IP

Application Server

Eg. NEST, Samsung Smart TVs, etc.

CUSP's $4.2M NSF-funded project -- SONYC uses this model in production!

And so will we, in this course!

Communication Models

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

Device to Gateway (D2G) Communication

  • In this model, the IoT device connects to an Internet cloud application service provider via Local Gateway.

HTTP, TLS,
TCP, IP

CoAP, UDP,
IP

Application Server

Local Gateway

IPv4 / IPv6

Bluetooth, WiFi, Ethernet, LR-WPAN

Communication Models

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

Back-End Data-Sharing Model

  • Users can export and analyze the smart object data from a cloud service in combination with data from other sources.

Communication Models

mohit sharma (mohit.sharma@nyu.edu)

What governs the selection of communication models?

  • Technical complexity
  • Availability of resources
  • Open versus Proprietary nature of the IoT devices
  • Device interoperability
  • Enabling user (adding value to the user)
